Will back pain during pregnancy affect the baby?

Q:I am a 33 years old female who had a miscarriage during the sixth month of pregnancy. I was having a huge fibroid at that time. One year back I underwent myomectomy. Now I am four months pregnant and having back pain. The doctor has prescribed Duvadilan and Susten. Will this affect the baby?

A:Back pain during pregnancy could be due to many reasons, only your obstetrician can tell if there is anything to be careful about. The medicines which you are taking can be safely continued. Since you had a mishap in 6th month get a trombophilia profile done, get frequent ultrasounds done for fetal well being and keep a watch on your blood pressure and sugar.
